Precautions

On safety

• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is

identical with the voltage of your local power

supply.

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the

cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by

qualified personnel before operating it further.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be

used for several days.

• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never

pull the cord itself.

• The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily

accessible.

• The unit is not disconnected to the AC power source

(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,

even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on.

• Do not place your hand or objects near the

ventilation holes. The air coming out is hot.

On preventing internal heat build-up

After you turn off the power with the I/1 (on/standby)

switch, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet

while the cooling fan is still running.

Caution

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes

(intake) and ventilation holes (exhaust). Do not block

or place anything near these holes, or internal heat

build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or

damage to the projector.

On repacking

Save the original shipping carton and packing

material; they will come in handy if you ever have to

ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your

unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

This section describes how to install the

projector and screen, how to connect the

equipment from which you want to project

Step 1: Installing

the Projector

You can obtain good picture quality even when you

project the picture from the side of the screen (“Side

Shot”) (1 page 10). You can enjoy home

entertainment with this projector in various situations.

Enjoying home theater

Enjoying video games on a large screen

Watching sports, etc. with your company

Viewing images, recorded by a digital

camera and stored in the “Memory Stick,” on

a large screen

Before Setting Up the

Projector

Do not place the projector in the following situations,

which may cause malfunction or damage to the

projector.

Poorly ventilated

Highly heated and humid

Connections and

Preparations

GB

Subject to direct cool or warm air from an

air-conditioner

Installing in such a location may cause malfunction of

the unit due to moisture condensation or rise in

temperature.

Near a heat or smoke sensor

Malfunction of the sensor may be caused.

Very dusty and extremely smoky

Do not use the projector under the following

conditions:

Tilting the unit extremely

Blocking the ventilation holes

Tip

For further details on the location of the ventilation holes (intake

or exhaust), see “Location of Controls” on pages 74 to 76.

Placing the unit upside down

Do not place the unit upside down on the table etc.

The unit will be unsutable.

Note

Installing the unit at altitudes

When using the projector at an altitude of 1,500 m or

higher, turn on high altitude mode in the INSTALL

SETTING menu. Failing to set this mode when using

the projector at high altitudes could have adverse

effects, such as reducing the reliability of certain

components.

Using the Optional

Conversion Lens

You can install the following two types of lenses

(optional) on the projector. For projection distances

when installing the Conversion Lens, see page 67.

• VPLL-CT10 Long Focused Conversion Lens

• VPLL-CW10 Short Focused Conversion Lens

Follow the steps below to install the Conversion Lens.

For details on installing the Lens, refer also to the

installation manual supplied with the Lens.

1 Turn off the power and disconnect the

power cord.

2 Remove the lens hood from the projector’s

lens, and remove the lens cap from the

Conversion Lens.

3 Align the screw of the Conversion Lens

with the thread around the lens of the

projector as illustrated below.

4 Turn the Conversion Lens clockwise until

you hear it click.

Note

If the Conversion Lens is hard to turn, turn it slightly

counterclockwise first, then turn it clockwise.

5 Place a thick cloth (e.g., a cushion)

beneath the projector. Place the projector

face down.

Note

The optional Conversion Lens projects from the top of the

projector when the Lens is installed on the projector. Before

installation, place a cloth of adequate thickness beneath the

projector to keep the Lens from contact with the floor or a

desk top. Otherwise, the Lens may malfunction if it receives

too much pressure from the weight of the projector.

6 Fasten the end of the safety wire of the

Conversion Lens to the bottom of the

projector using the screw supplied with

the Conversion Lens (M5×8, with washer).

Note

Be sure to fasten the end of the safety wire of the Lens to the

bottom of the projector.

When installing the projector on the ceiling

Be sure to fasten the end of the safety wire of the Lens

to both the projector and the PSS-610 Projector

Suspension Support in step 6, as illustrated below. In

this case, use the screw (M5×12, with washer)

supplied with the PSS-610.

First, place the PSS-610 ( 1 ) on the projector, then

place the safety wire ( 2 ) on the PSS-610.

WARNING

Be sure to use the screw (M5×12 with washer) supplied with the

PSS-610. Never use the screw supplied with the Conversion Lens.

If you use the screw supplied with the Lens, the Lens may fall

from the projector and may cause injury.

Notes on installation of the optional Conversion Lens

• The Lens scratches easily, so when handling it, always place it

gently on a stable and level surface in a horizontal position.

• Be sure not to bump the Lens on the surface of the lens of the

projector.

• Avoid touching the Lens surface.

To remove the installed Conversion Lens

1 Remove the end of the safety wire of the

installed Lens from the bottom of the

projector by removing the screw.

2 Turn the installed Lens counterclockwise

until it can be removed.

Notes

• Be sure not to drop the uninstalled Conversion Lens.

• When you adjust picture distortion using “V Keystone” or

“Side Shot” in the INSTALL SETTING menu with the

optional Conversion Lens attached to the projector, the

aspect ratio of the original picture may not be correctly

displayed.

Installing the Projector and a

Screen — Floor Installation

The installation distance between the projector and

screen varies depending on the size of the screen.

1

Determine the installation

position of the projector and

screen.

a: Minimum projection distance between the

screen and the center of the projector’s lens

when you place the projector on the side

(“Side Shot”), or when you place the

projector with the center of the screen and the

center of the lens aligned.

lens when you place the projector on the side

(when you use projection distance b)

When projecting using “Side Shot”

adjustment only (1 page 20)

Position the projector with the lens end within

the area in the illustration, by using the

values a, b, c and d in the table below as a guide.

Unit: m (feet)

Tip

The tables show the distances when projecting the 15 kHz

RGB/component, progressive component, DTV (480i/

480p/575i/575p), composite video and Y/C video signals.

Distances used for projecting a 1080i/720p format signal,

computer’s signal and data stored in the “Memory Stick”

are shown on page 66.

Note

If you project the picture using “Side Shot” only,

set “V Keystone” in the INSTALL SETTING

menu to “Manual,” and adjust the level to “0.”

When projecting using both “Side Shot”

and “V Keystone” adjustments (1 page

21)

Position the projector with the lens end within

the area in the illustration, by using the

values a to f in the table below as a guide.

Unit: m (feet)

Tip

The tables show the distances when projecting the 15 kHz

RGB/component, progressive component, DTV (480i/

480p/575i/575p), composite video and Y/C video signals.

When projecting with the optional Conversion Lens

attached, the values a, b, e and f are slightly different from

those in the table.

Step 2:

Connecting the

Projector

When making connections, be sure to do the

following:

• Turn off all equipment before making any

connections.

• Use the proper cables for each connection.

• Insert the cable plugs properly; plugs that are not

fully inserted often generate noise. When pulling

out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not

the cable itself.

• Refer to the operating instructions of the connected

equipment.

• When you connect your projector to PJ MULTI or

DVI connector, select the input signal with the

“Input-A Signal Sel.” or “DVI Signal Sel.” setting in

the SET SETTING menu. (1 page 34)

Note

Before you change the “DVI Signal Sel.” setting, disconnect the

DVI cable and turn off the digital tuner, etc.
